Because I couldn't sleep, I woke up at 5:08, and now, here I was. I sat at the kitchen table, playing with a wrapper to a straw. I could smell coffee brewing in the coffee pot. I looked at the time: 6:08 AM. I've been up for exactly an hour, doing nothing. I stood up, getting a mug from the cupboard, pouring myself a cup of coffee. I didn't bother to put any cream or sugar in it; I needed the energy, due to the little amount of sleep I got the night before. I walked into the living room and turned on the news. I was more engrossed in the small, yellow mug I held in my hand that was filled with coffee. I brought the mug to my lips one more time, taking a long swig.
After drinking the last drop of coffee, I got another cup. I drank it quickly, finishing the pot. I searched the cabinets, looking for another bag of coffee. Nothing. There wasn't any more coffee in the house. I decided to take a trip to the store.
I ran to the store, wanting more coffee. It was completely weird that I used to detest coffee, and now I was completely and utterly in love with it, walking inside. I looked around for a bit in the coffee aisle, eyeing the specialty coffee, the regular, cheap coffee mom usually bought, and the gourmet coffee imported from England. I grabbed the specialty, irritated I wasn't drinking any coffee.
I paid quickly, and walked home quickly, in need of coffee. I ran inside, falling at the steps, but regaining my balance quickly. I made the coffee, drumming my fingers against the counter, watching each drop fall into the pot, watching it slowly rise higher and higher by the minute. Irritated, I grabbed the coffee pot, pouring myself a cup quickly, and taking a sip. The warmth of the liquid burned my tongue, but the burning sensation felt nice against my tongue.
After getting a second cup, the phone rang. I jumped, due to the over-energized mood, I was in from the black coffee.
"Hello?" I said into the phone.
"Hey, Bells," A friendly voice said. Juliet. "I was just making sure that you were still up to going to lunch today. You are, right?"
"Sure, sure, Julie," I said a little jumpy, taking a sip of coffee. My hand shook as I set the mug back on the counter.
"You okay Bella? You seem a little jumpy." She asked me in a nervous tone.
"Sure, sure, I'm fine! Just come get me at 3 I have the tutoring session with Edward remember ." My words were slurred, and my voice was filled with excitement.
"Okay, Bella tell me all about it..." She trailed off, and I turned the phone off, pressing numerous buttons before finding the 'Off' button.
I sipped at my coffee some more, getting another cup. I poured it too quickly, spilling some on the counter. Quickly, I washed away the coffee. I drank my last bit of coffee from the second pot, wanting more. I knew I shouldn't make anymore, but I couldn't contain myself. I jumped around the kitchen, making one last pot. It brewed slower than ever, and I waited as patient as I could before I drank directly from the pot, gulping the coffee quickly. I stopped numerous times, due to the burning coffee that burned my throat. I wiped my face, which was splattered with dried coffee.
I quickly went to my room and changed my clothes. I wore a Nike Hoodie with tight leggings that were also Nike. I slipped my sneakers, they were an ombre gray. I really didn't feel like getting dressed this morning. I sprayed perfume on, the sense of smell can be a powerful sense. Just one sniff of a scent of perfume or a flower or anything can take me back to a memory or remind me of someone.
The sense of Heavenly smells like the breeze at the beach coming off of the ocean. The smells so fresh with a little hint of salt and water all mixed together. It smells strong at first for a few seconds but then after a few seconds it blends in with my clothing and skin and the smell is not as strong as it was when I put it on. Once I put Heavenly on it and close my eyes it reminds me of being on the beach again with all my friends lying on the beach all day and drinking all night, and just enjoying my friends being together and having a good time. As soon as the sense hits my nose I can see my friends laughing and smiling and I think of all the stupid things we did during senior week. It is amazing how one bottle of perfume can bring up so many happy memories. Sometimes I just get the bottle out when I miss my friends back home and spray a little bit of it in my room, so that I can remember them.
